Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the Bombay High Court's reversal of the Sessions Court's acquittal under Sections 302 and 307/34 IPC and Section 25(1)(a) of the Arms Act, convicting the appellants to life imprisonment. The Court established that the prosecution had sufficiently proven the common intention of the accused to commit murder, as evidenced by the coordinated firing at the deceased and the injuries sustained by witnesses. The appeal was allowed, and the conviction was affirmed.
